Need help with getting info on per diem to give to my company

In 2016. Per diem was $69 and could be used for filing taxes. It lowered your tax rate by exceeding your standard tax deduction .

In 2017. Per diem went bye bye. No longer available for taxes.

Anything your company is trying to offer you is just Vaseline on your bum hole.

 

I’m paid hourly so not too concerned. I see it as icing on the cake.

 

There's no icing on any cake. Only Vaseline.

I've been hourly for the last 10 years.

 

You’re confusing true per diem with the meal allowance.

 

Is meal allowance allowed?

Per diem pays more and doesn't require receipts.

 

No, the daily meal allowance went away for company drivers, companies can still pay a portion of driver wages as per diem to lower taxable income.
